The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie didn’t seem like she bought it.

“But you told me that you asked your friend to buy this ring for you and that it was a cheap knock-off?”

Back when Sebastian bought the wedding ring, he just picked the most valuable one without giving it much thought.

He was glad to know that the ring actually had a long history, or else he wouldn’t have been able to make up the perfect excuse.

He wasn’t lying when he said that his friend bought it for him.He did ask Garrett to buy the ring for him, and it was honestly a cheap gift by his standards.

“Before the Larson family went down in the world, we were a reputable family in Seacisco.” Sebastian brushed the tip of his nose against hers, stroking Natalie’s cheek with his finger.

“Why would I lie to you, honey? Do you think I have money to buy a ring that expensive?”Natalie was aware that Sebastian’s mother was indeed the daughter of the Larson family.

However, he had given Natalie a platinum emerald ring and told her that it had been passed down as a family heirloom for generations, so she couldn’t bring herself to believe that there was suddenly another heirloom, another invaluable ring, in existence.It worried Natalie that Sebastian might’ve acquired the ring through illegal means.

“It’s true that you don’t have the money to buy the ring, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have been able to get it through other means.” She cast him a sharp gaze, avoiding his touch.

She was really scared that her husband might’ve committed a crime.

“You’re overthinking it, honey,” Sebastian replied in a patient voice.

He could tell that it wouldn’t be easy to fool her this time.

“Your family has been passing down an awful lot of jewelry for generations, hasn’t it?” Natalie snorted.

Sebastian was on the hot seat now.As a result, he had no choice but to use countless lies to cover up the first one.

“Well, after the Larson family went bankrupt, they sold tons of valuable antiques, paintings, and rare calligraphy that had been collected for so many years.My grandmother liked collecting all kinds of precious and beautiful jewelry when she was alive.She loved them so much.My grandfather didn’t want to take them away from her, so he let her keep them.Upon her death years later, my mother inherited her favorite pieces of jewelry.She held them so dear to her heart that she couldn’t bring herself to sell them even in her most difficult time.She later passed them on to me. These two rings were among them.”

Sebastian decided not to go into details. Too many details would expose hints of his well-coated lies.

Nevertheless, he made sure to give a reasonable explanation.His words weren’t entirely false.

Some of the details were actually true.

The origin of the platinum emerald ring was exactly like he told Natalie.It used to be his grandmother’s.

“Oh, I see.I was extremely shocked to hear the shop attendant’s words today.We aren’t financially stable.It is practically impossible for you to afford such an expensive ring.I upped and left without saying anything more to her.Something seemed fishy.At that moment, I felt they were only stalling us because they had secretly called the police. Thank goodness we didn’t get into trouble back there.”

Natalie held her chest and heaved a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.She swallowed her husband’s words, hook, line, and sinker.
